When Mothers Wound: A Companion Handbook for Counsellors and Clients

A beautifully designed and easy to follow 32-page, A4 paperback handbook developed from our training programmes.  Ideal for revising taught material and sharing with clients as a psychoeducational tool.

This guide explores how early relationships shape us, the impact of harmful mothering, and ways to heal. It explains several difficult mothering styles, and the cost of control, with real-life stories threaded through. You’ll also find insights from counsellors, support in the counselling room, practical resources, and references.

Our companion booklets provide clear explanations, reflective exercises for counsellors, and therapeutic guidance on the key themes explored in our trainings. While they mirror the core ideas from our video recordings, each booklet also includes additional material, practice-based insights, and new reflections not covered elsewhere.

Every booklet is designed to function as a standalone resource - you do not need to have attended the course to benefit from the content. Whether you're looking to deepen your understanding, integrate new techniques into your practice, or revisit the material at your own pace, these handbooks offer a practical, compassionate guide to support your therapeutic work.
